usi ke zulm se main haalat-e-panah mein tha
usī ke zulm se maiñ hālat-e-panāh meñ thā
har ik nafas mirā jis shaḳhs kī panāh meñ thā
chamak rahā thā vo ḳhurshīd-e-do-jahāñ kī tarah
vo haath jo ki garebān-e-kaj-kulāh meñ thā
ufuq ufuq ko payām-e-sahr diyā maiñ ne
mirā qayām agarche shab-e-siyāh meñ thā
mahak rahe the nazar meñ gulāb sapnoñ ke
khulī jo aañkh to dekhā maiñ qatl-gāh meñ thā
mire harīf mujhe rauñd kar nikal na sake
fasīl-e-sañg kī sūrat khaḌā maiñ raah meñ thā
jo baat baat pe kartā thā inqalāb kī baat
sajī salīb to vo hāmiyān-e-shāh meñ thā
adū kī fauj ne luuTā to kyā sitam ye hai
'ra.īs'-e-shahr bhī shāmil isī sipāh meñ thā
usi ke zulm se main haalat-e-panah mein tha
har ek nafas mera jis shaKHs ki panah mein tha
chamak raha tha wo KHurshid-e-do-jahan ki tarah
wo hath jo ki gareban-e-kaj-kulah mein tha
ufuq ufuq ko payam-e-sahr diya main ne
mera qayam agarche shab-e-siyah mein tha
mahak rahe the nazar mein gulab sapnon ke
khuli jo aankh to dekha main qatl-gah mein tha
mere harif mujhe raund kar nikal na sake
fasil-e-sang ki surat khaDa main rah mein tha
jo baat baat pe karta tha inqalab ki baat
saji salib to wo hamiyan-e-shah mein tha
adu ki fauj ne luTa to kya sitam ye hai
'rais'-e-shahr bhi shamil isi sipah mein tha
